I enjoyed this post of yours immensely, and I can empathise completely, getting up a sweat and then travelling into a cold breeze is no joke. Like you, I need the perfect cycling specific clothing to combat this problem. Sadly, though this perfect clothing exists, it is way out of my price range.

I’m not sure which is better.. the post or the comments to the post. “Jockularities, Jockularities!”

I always wear something under MY jersey when the temps are really cold here in FL. Like say under 60 no 70. Why just last week I had to put a coolmax undershirt under my jersey.

PS I thought the ads on the top of the blog were the April fool jokes, like: Protect your LUNG ! Do I have to buy two masks then ?

Keep up the good work.

And I thought it was bad when my feet were frozen riding this weekend.

It’s the 2000’s, Fatty. You can say “penis.”

I feel so unworthy . . . while I ride daily throughout the year (OK, no riding in the rain (I walk)), at .58 totally flat miles, my jaunt pales in comparison.

I will admit though, to wishing some days for a longer commute for the health benefits.

Cycle on!

I live in Michigan on Lake Superior in the land of 3 to 4 feet of snow and sub-zero weather. Fun stuff. We’ll ride 15+ degrees.

The only digits I have are on my hands and feet, but you could say that my riding buddy has a digit in his nether region. Mostly everyone up here are cross country skiers, so we combine those clothes with a cycling jersey and cycling shorts. It seems like cycling shorts with ski pants over them work great. My friend has Swix ski pants and I use Pearl Izumi. Breathable, wind resistant, water resistant. :)

I also wear a neck gator and cross country ski gloves. When I commute, I’m exposed to the wind coming off of the lake. Brrrrrr. My bum is always toasty, though.

You know, I am often mocked at the club ride for not shaving my legs. And I have read all of the above thinking…”Why have I not had this problem?” Fatty recently wrote about shaving ALL his body hair. Drop the porn star look in the winter and you won’t have to worry about frostbite on your junk. I have ridden down to sixteen degrees (enough for iceicles in my beard) and never need more than a heavy set of tights.
Also pedaling does a pretty good job of screwing up the wind funnel effect. You don’t have to go hard, just keep pedaling while descending.

Here is my game
I skip reading what fatty writes, and I go right to the comments and try to figure it out. I am not going to read the post at this point. Thank you.

It was 11 degrees here this morning and i did not even have arm warmers on. Oh you guys are talking farenheit. If you stuck with celsius it does not go that low. Well not here anyway.
